What should your annual income be at your age? 👇 The most recent report from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics compiled data from over 60,000 households regarding annual income. As I've mentioned before, I prefer to look at median numbers rather than averages. The reason for that is because there is an extremely select group of over-performing earners that bring the total average way up. For example, Lynsi Snyder, the founder of In-N-Out Burger, became a billionaire at age 35. She skews the average. The median number finds the person that is squarely in the middle of all earners and takes their income as the benchmark. So what is the median annual income at every age? Keep reading 😎 Age 16-19: $32,552 Age 20-24: $39,104 Age 25-34: $57,356 Age 35-44: $64,844 Age 45-54: $68,432 Age 55-64: $62,244 Age 65+: $60,008 A reminder that being above or below these numbers doesn't necessarily mean you're doing great or doing badly. Every person's circumstances are different. It is just a way to see where you stand compared to Americans in a similar stage as yourself. Thoughts?

Happy December- the most EXPENSIVE month of the year 🤭 A lot of budgets are increasing this Christmas, and that's okay! Here are a few reminders to keep YOU in control of your spending, and not the other way around 👇 1. Make a list of who you'd like to get gifts for this year- BEFORE you go out shopping. 2. Set your budget for each person on your list... and then the hard part- stick to it. 3. If money is tight, consider something more affordable or free! Buying your daughter an iPhone is great, but taking her to ice skating at the local rink for $5 will create memories forever! 4. Remember the reason for the season! If we remember that Christmas is truly about the coming of Christ as a humble child, we can reorient ourselves towards him and away from material consumerism! Have a great December. It truly is the most WONDERFUL time of the year!

Our Gingerbread & Generosity event was a huge success! We brought over 30 Christian young adults together to build community and make tie blankets for foster children in the state of Idaho. Then, we had a gingerbread house-making competition! I was shocked at how competitive some of these Christian young people can be ;) Thrivent generously sponsored the entire event! I love working for this company! Now it's time to settle in and cozy up for the holidays- but keep your eyes open for our next events in Winter 2025! Big things coming ;)

Happy Thanksgiving! This year has been one of the best of my life, and I am so grateful. There were a lot of changes this year, with moving states, getting married, and changing careers. But it has all been good. God is faithful! We have so much to be grateful for!

What should your net worth be at your age? 👇 The US Federal Reserve recently surveyed around 5,000 families across America. They compiled data regarding median income, assets, debt, and net worth. With this data, I prefer to look at median numbers rather than averages. The reason for that is because there is an extremely select group of over-performing earners that bring the total average way up. For example, Mark Zuckerberg became a billionaire at age 23. He skews the average. The median number finds the person that is squarely in the middle of all earners and takes their net worth as the benchmark. So what is the median net worth at every age?
